Konrad Strauss - The Problem lyrics

There was a hearing The rules were broken by one Followed by another The evidence was presented An overwhelming list of infractions An overwhelming representation Of one's maladjustment to the system The hearing was about him About his attitude About his behavior He is, he represents No, he embodies the problem If he is expelled, the problem Will go away Responsibility Relationship Mutuality Our solution A person with a problem I believe there's no such thing As a person with a problem If there is a problem it's a problem with the system The system of home and family Of school and community He is not in this alone He is not the problem A reflection of the system A mirror image of ourselves and our work We acknowledge not all kids fit Our ancillary design And when they don't fit They become the problem The problem Expel the problem Make it go away Expel the problem Make it go away, make it go away Make it go away
